I found a 3.5 floppy a couple of nights ago

I think it was AmericaOnline, LOL

I had an 8-inch floppy from school, waaaaaaay back

Had to take one out of an IBM Series/1 one day back at the community college - the machine wouldn’t boot

There was SO MUCH dirt and fur balls — lol - I had to rotate the floppy by hand and clean it as much as I could

Got the Series/1 to reboot and it was alive for long after that

Give me Win 98 SR2 - had fax capability built in

Loved it - I was first (officially) writing Windows software back in the 95/98 days - 95 wasn’t stable enough but 98 and 98 SR2 were awesome - I had a LOT of fun back in those days - great tools - learned a lot
